HOW IT WORKS
From Property Assessment to Ongoing Management
Our management process is clear and straightforward. We focus on understanding your property and investment objectives to ensure a seamless transition into the short- and mid-term rental market.
The Onboarding Journey
STEP 01
INITIAL ENQUIRY & PROPERTY ASSESSMENT
The process begins when you contact us to discuss your property. We schedule an initial consultation and property assessment to understand your objectives and evaluate the home's suitability for short or mid-term rental.
STEP 02
PROPOSAL & AGREEMENT
We provide a management proposal outlining estimated earnings, recommended nighty rates, and our service fee structure. Once you are ready to proceed, we sign a management agreement and begin the onboarding process.
STEP 03
ONBOARDING & SETUP
- Property photography to showcase the home.
- Gathering property details (manuals, codes, house rules).
- Implementing minor styling recommendations.
- Setting up secure key access.
STEP 04
LISTING LAUNCH
We build professional listings on Airbnb, Booking.com, and other platforms. Our team writes enticing copy and optimises your profile with dynamic pricing to secure top visibility.
STEP 05
GUEST & STAY MANAGEMENT
After launch, Cohostly manages guest enquiries, screening, reservations and communication throughout each stay. We coordinate check-in and check-out, respond to guest needs, oversee cleaning and help ensure every stay runs smoothly.
STEP 06
REPORTING & PAYOUTS
Receive your rental income monthly, with a detailed statement showing bookings, fees, and maintenance. We offer full transparency over your property’s performance.
